If you’re planning a cookie exchange, or giving cookies as gifts this holiday season, make these cute cookie exchange plates – they are fast to make, and super inexpensive! These DIY Cookie Plates look better than a plain paper plate, and hold up much more nicely.

You’ll need:
Plain plates – I got these at the Dollar Store
DecoArt Glass Paint Pens
Paper Towel
Rubbing Alcohol

Draw your designs on the plates.
Have fun with it! You can even let the kids decorate!
